Bacteria have wifi!

Süel and other scientists are now finding that bacteria in biofilms can also talk to one another electrically. Biofilms appear to use electrically charged particles to organize and synchronize activities across large expanses..
He focused on ion channels — specialized molecules that nestle into cells’ outer membranes and ferry electrically charged particles in and out. Ion channels are probably most famous for their role in nerve cells, or neurons.
The species name Least Weasel is actually a misnomer. It's the same amount of weasel compressed into a denser form. https://awoo.space/media/aox2mrnlVDeMARtGEd8
I just played "Transmissions: Element 120", a hl2 mod.
It's really good! It has a really interesting take on hl2's gameplay and level design (it feels halfway between hl2 and a metroidvania), and manages to mix up the standard by making the atmosphere creepy and adding a bunch of extra mechanics.
It's free and short, so go play it!
